Window Names - organize, update, expand

[Shenanigunner]

I have collected quite a list of window names over the years and used them in the sections about UI optimization (scale, color, call with binds, etc.) But a lot of window names are (1) wonky or outdated; (2) non-functional (such as 'incarnate', which does not affect the Incarnates window); or (3) nonexistent/unknown — there's no known name for controlling a number of windows.

I'd like to request a wholesale review of window names and their assignments. Clean up glitches, remove obsolete/nonfunctional ones, add aliases to make some of them more intuitive, and add names for a number of windows that don't seem to have them. Maybe even create a whole new nomenclature for windows that have different access — can be opened/closed/resized; can only be closed; can't be resized; etc.

 

I suspect all windows HAVE names, but some, especially newer ones, may be code-jumble or just arbitrary.  So the effort may be no more than creating aliases for these where it's impractical/dangerous to actually change them.

 

I'd be willing to do heavy shoveling on this and organize the effort if a Dev wants to take on the code search/review end of it.

For things like /windowscale NAME 1.50?

I know for the various trays.

The main 3-tray interface is /windowscale tray
First tray after that is Tray1
And so on and so forth.

Right, all those. Most are known, a number could use more sensible name/alias, at least a dozen appear to be missing/not documented. F'rex, you can't scale the tear-off chat windows. Not sure if it's a technical reason or a name issue.
